Deluded people don't realize that their own mind is the Buddha.
They keep searching outside.
-Bodhidharma
outside at 6am
has the garbage truck come yet
no
and neither has the dawn
not yet
but almost
clear sky
stars
cold air
quarter moon low in the sky
down near the treetops
the bus to sacramento eases down the street
but no one is there waiting for a ride

Sometimes it's to your advantage
for people to think you're crazy.
-Thelonious Monk
Thelonious Monk Quartet - 'Round Midnight
if you argue right and wrong
you will always be one or the other
live by cultivating
live by nurturing
live with awareness and compassion
even on the grayest of days
the sky is vast and beautiful
the sky is endless

The farther the source, the longer the stream.

A fine soft morning. Gaia is with us.
We are the birds of emptiness.
We are the children of this silence.
We are the children of this silence.
-james lee jobe
The world is your mirror.
You only see your own reflection.

The only way to support a revolution is to make your own.
-Abbie Hoffman
I just dreamed that a bound collection of John Coltrane's favorite recipes existed, and a nice old man brought it to me as a gesture of friendship. As dreams go, that's pretty good.
-james lee jobe
Start where you are. The past is gone,
the future is not yet here,
and if we do not go back to ourselves in the present moment,
we cannot be in touch with life.
-Thich Nhat Hanh
To be fully alive, fully human, and completely awake
is to be continually thrown out of the nest.
